artist statement: This video has more of a purpose than a meaning. I find that when I’m in any sort of mood the use of vivid color and tranquil sounds and images tends to calm me. I named this after my grandmother because I find myself very drawn to plants, flowers in particular, and when reflecting on that I couldn’t help but think of my grandma’s roses that–whether this is true or merely my imagination playing games in my memory–bloomed to the size of my head in the prettiest of pink. I thought then that maybe I am so drawn to flowers having been around such beautiful ones growing up.
